sober AF 😂 The toilet thing is out of control this halloween. I loved teenage slasher, but it is very stream of conciousness/adhd-on-tangent writing, so you may not like this one either. I read the Library of the dead a few years ago, and I had a fun time (though I will admit, the "library" isn't a huge part of it). I still need to read the other two. This was fun to watch! I love when I haul stuff....leave it in the bag....then it is like a surprise all over again!

I started a reading journal last November and mine is not so creative and amazing like yours. I got it at B&N. So, the set up is already there the Title of the book, author name, how many pages, etc. but my handwriting sucks! 😅 I try to write neatly but then my hand hurts. Can’t wait to see another book journal video 😊

You’re Journal is 👏🏼 so 👏🏼 fun 👏🏼. I appreciate that you committed to your theme, gave us some color, and more importantly, kept it simple to your style. Like you, I would compare myself to the journals who were more artistic. I can’t paint, but I’m still very crafty. We need to see more journals like this. I think is a great journal for a beginner to follow. I think it’s helpful to hear your commentary on what you use a lot and what you will tweak for next year. I appreciate that you also change things up every month until you find what works for you. Non fiction I would recommend: The Crossroads of Should and Must, Crying in H Mart, Educated (or any memoir narrated by the author), and Atomic Habits.

Great reading month for you, Venus! I honestly only read 3 books in June... not a great one, but hopefully July will be better. I have so far not been hearing great things about Middle of the Night, unfortunately. I don't have it yet (and I'm on a book-buying ban), but it makes me worry about picking it up, though... I am still curious. I enjoyed Survive the Night too, and I thought The House Across the Lake was decent, but Home Before Dark has been my favorite. I haven't gotten to Final Girls or Lock Every Door, or the new one of course yet though. I have not read anything by David Sodergren but I'm curious about him as he's come up a fair amount. So sorry to hear about your father-in-law. I'm glad that Dungeons and Drama helped you through it a bit. Cute cover too! :) I've wanted to read The Pines for quite a while! Oh, all the books... :)
